It had been so long...

@gamingonlinux Again?

@gamingonlinux I have met with this issue quite a few times. My solution which always works : install Grub4win in windows and set it up right.
Then when using it to reboot to Linux, just reinstall Grub in Linux.

@gamingonlinux

Yeah wiping Windows has been the easiest solution for me.

@gamingonlinux Shit like this is why I ALWAYS run Linux on a separate drive.

I've had too many stories of "I tried linux, but then after X amount of boots it stopped working! Linux is bad." Because MICROSOFT updated Windows and "accidentally" broke dual boots.

Fuck you Microsoft.

@gamingonlinux thanks God that I don't use windows anymore

@gamingonlinux I've followed these guidelines for a long time now, for PCs:

- Never dual boot 2 OS' off the same drive. One OS per drive, I say (and they are cheap enough).

- UEFI is what chooses which drive to boot, not GRUB.

- Don't let a Windows drive ever see a linux drive. As in disconnect the linux drive before booting the Windows drive.

@gamingonlinux Thanks for the reminder to check for updates on my Windows boot 😁

@gamingonlinux I am entirely on Linux now. I do need the bloated adware known as Windows every once in a while, but it's just a VM. Linux is my governing OS!

@gamingonlinux That was completely unexpected

@gamingonlinux this (one of the reasons) is why I haven't had a windows computer since 2016

@gamingonlinux I got rid of Windows a while ago, plus it is complicated to keep it AND to fully encrypt the hard disk so...

@gamingonlinux
The safest way to run windows and Linux on the same desktop is to use a HDD power switch, with the different operating systems on different drives.

@gamingonlinux Simple workaround (or definitive solution 😄): just remove Windows! 😂

@gamingonlinux They wrote "Contact your Linux vendor"
Lol

@gamingonlinux Now the system are all uefi. Start by pressing the F8 button, and there will be an EFI menu. Once in the system, use the efixxxxxx command to fix it.

@gamingonlinux

Dual boot is masochism. Especially if not both operating systems are Linux.;)

@gamingonlinux As usual, the installation of Windows breaks all other OS's on the computer. That is why I usually install it first when I am going to install other OS's besides. I've had up to four operating systems on one large hard drive and 8 OS's on multiple drives for a class project back in the late 80's/early 90's and they were all quite happy unless I installed Windows AFTER one of the others.

@gamingonlinux Glad I'm getting some of my family to use Linux as a way to extend the life of their devices. Hoping they will become used to them enough that they will continue to use Linux when those systems die out.

@gamingonlinux it's been 30 years Windows breaks other OSes, not only GNU/Linux btw… Someday we should sue them…

@gamingonlinux Doesn't every Windows Update do that?
